Lost in Translation is an easy inspiration for me. It’s set in Japan! This movie allows you to explore Japan, culture shock and all, as these characters attempt to find themselves while being in a foreign city.

One movie that was not on the list, that I feel should, is Midnight in Paris. Not only will it make you want to walk the streets of Paris in the rain, but also make you wish you could travel back in time. For those who daydream about traveling to Paris, especially during the Roaring Twenties, this is for you.

Then there’s one that isn’t a movie, but a documentary, Heima. The band Sigur Ros plays free, unannounced concerts throughout Iceland, revealing its mesmerizing landscapes throughout the country. Watch it for beautiful music and a tour of Iceland.
